Polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) leukocytes are primary phagocytic cells of the bovine mammary gland and a first line of defense against invading pathogens during bovine mastitis infection. Cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) is mainly expressed in macrophages and neutrophils and acts as a co-receptor that binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and recruits PMNs to CD14-LPS complexes in mammary epithelial cells.

Methylation analysis of CXCR1 in mammary gland tissue of cows with mastitis induced by Staphylococcus aureus

Y. J. Mao, Zhu, X. R., Li, R., Chen, D., Xin, S. Y., Zhu, Y. H., Liao, X. X., Wang, X. L., Zhang, H. M., Yang, Z. P., and Yang, L. G., Methylation analysis of CXCR1 in mammary gland tissue of cows with mastitis induced by Staphylococcus aureus, vol. 14, pp. 12606-12615, 2015.

Mastitis is the most important disease in the global dairy industry, and causes large economic losses. Staphylococcus aureus is one of most common pathogens that cause bovine mastitis. CXCR1 has been implicated as a prospective genetic marker for mastitis resistance in dairy cows; CXCR1 expression significantly increases when cows have mastitis.
